There are moments in life that divide everything into before and after. The day you left was one of them. Nothing has ever felt quite the same since, no matter how much time has passed or how strong I try to be.
I remember the warmth of your presence, the quiet comfort of knowing you were always there. Losing you felt like losing a part of myself, a piece of home I can never fully return to. Some days the ache is loud, other days it sits softly, but it is always there.
Grief does not fade the way people say it should. It changes shape, but it never disappears. And maybe that is because love never disappears either. It stays, woven into every memory, every tear, every moment I wish I could share with you.
Mom, I carry you with me through every season of life. Even in the hardest days, your love still guides me, and your place in my heart remains untouched, forever.
